Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and wa...ters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
